I use Linux as my primary working environment so what other viable
option is there other than Android and derivatives? BlackBerry OS, iOS,
and Windows Phone don't have any way of syncing with Linux so that
leaves Android, which doesn't require anything other than a Google
account to sync. I could probably live with any of those choices but I'm
tired of having to use an operating system I don't normally use just to
sync the calendar on my phone, as I do now with my Symbian OS Nokia,
which syncs (badly) with an application that runs only on Windows. In
fact, syncing the calendar on my phone is so convoluted that I just
don't bother any more.
